WaPo Does Deep-Dive Into Falwell's Pool boy Scandal

WaPo Does Deep-Dive Into Falwell’s Pool boy Scandal
September 18, 2020

The Washington Post today published a deep-dive into the still unfolding Falwell scandal. Much of what they report may be familiar to those who have closely followed the story, but one section bears re-emphasizing:

It was around that time that Michael Cohen got involved. The Falwells had met Cohen during Trump’s visit to Liberty University in 2012. In his new book, “Disloyal,” Cohen claims that Jerry called him and asked for help in dealing with an unnamed young man who was suing the Falwells and had photos of Becki “half-naked” atop a tractor.

Cohen called the man’s attorney and threatened to go to the FBI if the photos became public, he wrote, adding that Falwell would later repay the favor by shocking his fellow evangelicals and endorsing Trump in 2016. Last month, Falwell claimed someone stole the photos of Becki from his phone.

Per 911 call, Becki Falwell was at Church at 11PM and had to break a window to get into her own house. She doesn’t have a key?Thinking face

I wonder if they had already separated, “Church” is 6-feet tall, & Jerry changed the locks because she wouldn’t let him watch.
